Property Description
This is a neighborhood built almost a hundred years ago on the idea that you could have greenery and community in NYC. You'll feel it the moment you turn onto the block: sycamore-lined streets, hidden courtyards just for residents, and a slower pace that still puts you fifteen minutes from Midtown.
The Magnolia House has its own chapter in that story. Built in 1940 and originally owned by a Rothschild, the home is one of six identical townhomes that were constructed after the neighborhood was formed. Designed for a new generation of families who owned cars, these homes were built differently from the rest of the neighborhood: larger footprints, higher ceilings, and—a true unicorn—a private driveway and garage with space for two cars!
Pull into that same driveway today, walk past your garden and front porch, and step inside to the main level, where the living room, dining, and kitchen flow into one another with ease. With two generously sized bedrooms upstairs, one nursery/home office, and 2.5 bathrooms throughout, this home provides ample space to unwind and enjoy. Downstairs, a versatile basement with a washer/dryer is ready for whatever you need next—home gym, playroom, extra storage, take your pick.
Out back, past the gorgeous sun porch, is your private yard where The Magnolia House lives up to its name: a serene retreat shaded by a large, mature magnolia tree. There's plenty of room for al fresco dinners with friends and quiet summer afternoons. The home is also equipped with solar panels, providing solar energy to power the home, while split systems can cool and heat the home comfortably year-round.
Last, but far from least, the house is zoned for membership to Sunnyside Gardens Park—a huge benefit as it offers access to tennis courts, a running track, two playgrounds, a skate ramp, baseball, basketball, and soccer, a picnic grove, and a full calendar of social events, all just steps away. It's no surprise Time Out named this street one of the 50 best blocks in NYC!
The city is right there, but under the shade of the magnolia tree you might forget it for an afternoon. Isn't that the point?
